If you can't say 'fuck', you can't say 'fuck David Cameron with a piece of slightly undercooked broccoli'

The Lust series is pretty good. It's a horror game similar to Amnesia or Penumbra, except you're infiltrating a sex cult.

edit: ... and yes, after I bought these, steam has bombarded me with the most ridiculous erotic game suggestions for months!
Publicly spreading the faces of people you’re accusing of a crime
That would be a sound argument if they weren't doing the crime right there on the video.
I actually like those, and started to watch the channel regularly after the house remodeling series.
What's barely sufferable are the "we bought stuff from the internet and here it is. check out our sponsor..." videos that's been published a lot lately.
IKEA devices apparently work very well with Aqara
When it comes to zigbee devices, don't combine the aqara wall switches with large (4 buttons) ikea remotes.
The wall switches tend to execute the commands from the remotes instead of just routing them to the coordinator.
My Zigbee network also improved a lot when I set up some IKEA plugs in the loft.
I have similar experience with the ikea bulbs. More of them I connect, more stable the whole network gets.
It's just that I rarely see a real person be so confidently wrong.
We've already established that language models just make shit up. There is no need to demonstrate. Bad bot!
I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.
- Conversations is a decent android client that supports modern XMPP standards
- Dino on the desktop. It just happen to support the same subset of standards as Conversations, so they work pretty well together.
For Mastodon, I'm using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine
- Tusky works pretty well with it. There were certain annoying bugs when I combined the official Mastodon app with Akkoma.
Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.
- Only the element based clients so far, because every alternative lack certain features.
I'm a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it's pretty bland when it comes to content.
- Amethyst on Android
- Gossip on the desktop. This one requires a certain knowledge of the protocol. Each action needs to be manually triggered.
For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
We hate the AI and proof of work, yet DEMAND someone to moderate our inboxes. For free.
- an average lemming
That's not a slow laptop. I've been daily driving worse for years.
To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.
The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn't stop a determined attacker, but it's 100% better than nothing, and I've never noticed any performance problems.
Pidgin was decent, but remember Miranda? The community around it was fantastic. The plugin system was an absolute blast. Not only there were plugins for any communication network you could think of, the UX was fully customizable.
At one point, somebody even bothered to implement the ICQ flash animations. There has not been anything like it ever since.
Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.
This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.
I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.
HW specifications:
| Price (pre-order) | $199.00 |
| Hashrate | ~1Th/s |
| Power Consumption | 40W - 55W |
| Number of hashboards | 1 |
| Number of ASIC chips | 4 |
| Cooling Type | Active |
| Noise | 40 dB |
| Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C |
But really, how much would it make in a year?
If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.
It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don't need them 99.9% of the time.
